'Photography in Mexico' at MCASD showcases Iturbide images

Prompted by a recent gift to the museum from Dan Greenberg and Susan Steinhauser of 10 images by the acclaimed Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide, MCASD has mounted an exhibition of 35 photographs — “Photography in Mexico: Selections From the Collection” — that puts Iturbide in context and demonstrates, in particular, the influence and legacy of Iturbide’s teacher, the great Mexican photographer, Alvarez Bravo.

Inevitably, the photographs force us to consider and reconsider issues including immigration, the border, human rights, and the environment. The exhibit is on view at the La Jolla location through March 10. Call (858) 454-3541 or visit
